Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A Single Malt Scotch Whisky is matured spirit which is the product of a “Pot-still” distillation process from an individual scotch whisky distillery and which has been matured in oak casks in controlled conditions in a warehouse in Scotland.

The greatest concentration of malt whisky distilleries can be found in the Speyside region of north-east Scotland, with Highland, Lowland, Campbeltown and Islay being the other main malt whisky producing areas of the country.

Each of these regions typically has its own particular distinctive style of malt whisky although no two malt whiskies are identical - even if the distilleries that produce them are located in close proximity.

Well known Single Malts from the different regions include ;

Speyside : Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, Macallan, Cardhu
Highland : Glenmorangie, Old Pulteney, Glengoyne
Lowland : Glenkinchie, Auchentoshan
Campbeltown : Springbank,
Islay : Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Bowmore, Bruichladdich, Ardbeg
